Description

Specialized Wikipedia voice and speech client for your mobile device. It responds to your voice search command and turns the online Wiki encyclopedia into an audio book. It also supports saving articles for offline reading.

Important: the text to speech feature depends on speech engine. The default Android speech engine may not support your language of choice, if so you need to install a third party speech engine (and data files) such as "SVOX Classic". You may also need to go to "Settings" to properly configure your speech engine.

Key features:1) Wikipedia voice search, Wikipedia text to speech.2) Shake to start voice search.3) Voice command to jump to a Web link.4) Easy navigation in article, automatic scroll to a section by selecting an item in table of contents.5) View the same article in different languages - good for learning a new language. Can be used as a multi-language dictionary.6) Autocomplete in search box. 7) Optimized speed, fast response.8) Save articles for offline reading.

Operations are easy: shake your phone to start search, long press on screen to bring up table of contents. On Text View, you can tap on screen to start/pause speech; swipe on screen to navigate through the paragraphs. On Web View, you can double tap on screen to toggle the search bar.

If you have any problem using this software, please don't hesitate to drop me a line at shanyu.chrome@gmail.com and I'll try my best to help you.

Amazing! Really nice app! Most people complain about not having access to a setting button. All you have to do is HOLD down your app switch button on the lower left (This is an Android default method of accessing a soft menu), I also didn't know this when I upgraded my phone. Default setting works great, but acess to options give even better customization. Thanks Dev!

Perfect. Honestly couldn't ask for more. I was driving and wanted to learn about "The Singularity". So using my voice, I asked Google Play for "text to speech for wikipedia" and this came up 2nd. It REALLY should have been 1st. I downloaded it and learned all about the inception and history of The Singularity. For my needs, this app is absolutely perfect

Not Every Android Has a MENU Button I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 and a Asus Nexus 7, neither of which have a MENU button. So from what I am gathering, I can't adjust any of the settings in this program. That's unfortunate because this app has defaulted the reading speed unreasonably high and I can't do anything to change it.

Almost there. Idea is great and yet powerful. There are many things that you can do to make it more powerful. Personally I would appreciate if you add pause function to be controllable using button of a headphone ,just like in most Audio and Video Players.?

Great app, simple and free. Only thing I would add is an option to read from the touch with a long hold or whatever. Otherwise it's brilliant. Thanks dev.

Potentially very useful and so far unique app, but at this moment crashes very often and doesn't support other languages than English (read in other language won't load).

Does exactly what it says This app, through an electronic voice, provides audio rendering of Wikipedia entries. There was full audio content for each article I chose. The voice does sound like a computer generation, but this distracts very little from the enjoyment of the app. A keeper.
